ME. D. OLIVER ON AURANTIACE-Sl. 39 



Rami teretes, glabri. Folia 10-15 poll. Foliola lanceolata v. oblooga, 



leviter acuminata, 3-8 unc. longa, lsr-2| unc. lata. Flores brevissime 



pedicellati v. sessiles. Paniculis v.- racemis cymosis parvis, 1-2 unc. 



in axillis foliorum superiorum quasi terminalibus. Calyx lobis ovato- 



rotundatis. Petala oblonga v.anguste oblonga. Discus parvus, vix 



ullus. Ovarium brevissime stipitatum. Stylus crassus, ovario fere 



aequilongus. 



The panicles are branched only or chiefly near the base ; the few flowers 



being disposed in very small, almost sessile glomerules, or singly on the 



branches of the inflorescence. 



There is another Glycosmis in Dr. Horsfield's collection, probably allied 

 to this plant, but I have had imperfect material for examination. The 

 leaves are trifoliate, leaflets 6-9 ins. by 2-3 ins. The petals are linear ob- 

 long and ovary glabrous. 



4. G. puberula, Lindley in Wall. Cat. Foliis saepius 3-foliolatis, 

 ovario 5- v. 4-loculari brevissime stipitato oblongo ferrugineo-piloso. 



Loc. Penang ! Wall. Cat. 6375. 



Foliola 2-4 unc. longa, £-H lata. Pedicelli brevissimi v. 0-l£ lin. longi. 

 Discus parvus ad stipitem adnatus. Stylus brevissimus. 



An var. G. pentaphylla, cui valde proxima, differt prsecipue ovario 

 piloso. 



(G. ? africana, Hk.fil. Flora Nigrit. 256. As observed above (p. 11) 



the only specimen which I have seen is so imperfect that I cannot tell 



whether it is truly a Glycosmis or not. 



In Sir William Hooker's Herbarium there is a doubtful Glycosmis from 



S. Borneo, sent by the late Mr. Motley ; it is not sufficient for description, 



but the elongated flowering axes look rather peculiar. I think it may be 



a variety of G. pentaphylla, allied perhaps to the Chinese form of that 



species.)
